How many inches below the ceiling should the rim be for optimal shooting? We only have a 7'-6" height in our basement, where we plan to install this.

I have the rim 12" from the ceiling. This allows me to shoot with almost a normal form. This is the best indoor/office hoop I have ever used. Enjoy.

3 feet or more clearance above the rim I recommend, but in this case that would bring the hoop down to 4.5 ft with your ceiling height. You could get away with 2.5 ft, but most shots would need to be closer to the rim

I hate to say this, but I don't think that you would get any kind of arc on your shot.

I think it depends on how little the people are that are shooting on it. I would say you want it ATLEAST 3-4 feet below the ceiling if you're an adult. Maybe you can go 1.5-2 ft from the ceiling if its a smaller child playing on it.

Hi, The bar is right at 7 feet. When I do a full chin over bar pull my head and neck extend up to about the 8 foot mark. I think it might be a bit too tight for your basement application. On a side note: I put mine in my back yard about 6 months ago as part of my crossfit layout ( I spray the bolts with wd-40 every week or so to prevent rust) The set-up is still looking good even with rain and freezing temps.

My ceiling is 7' 6"" and it's no problem. I think you should be ok with a 7' ceiling.

You only need 6 inches of clearance. Lower to frame is better for blowing rain + snow. Wish mine was a bit lower. But love it.

The game itself is approximately 80 inches tall. When my children shoot the ball, they naturally arch the shot, so it goes higher than the game, but then comes down. We have 9 foot ceilings in the basement, and occasionally, a ball hits the ceiling. I will also tell you that right after this was delivered, I shopped at Sams Club and found the same one for $99.

If you are just doing ring dips the ceiling only needs to be around 7 feet high. If you plan to be doing muscle ups on the rings however your going to need about a 12 foot ceiling.

I'm 5'8", and am able to use it comfortably with 7' ceilings. It leaves plenty of room between my head and the ceiling. I have a ceiling fan in the room, and would probably even be able to use it under that, although that would be a bit tight for my liking.

I measured 85 3/4". Obviously you need another 12+" above that to use the chin-up bar without smashing your head into the ceiling. For some reason I didn't have that foresight when I built mine in my 87" high basement. Dohhh. So my first workout on this was carrying it out of the basement. Otherwise this is a nice sturdy rack.

You are going to be really squeezing it. I don't think it will work for you, as I am 6,1 and I must be at least 7 feet high when I am on the up and up part of the dip.I am so sorry, you can't use it in basement, maybe somewhere else, because it is definitely worth it.Good luck friend.

It's a little over 6 feet tall. Normal ceilings and you won't have a problem...

Our ceiling is 7'6" and I am 5'9" and I have six inches left till I hit the ceiling so unless he's pretty short I would say look at something different.

The rim adjusts from 7.5 feet up to the standard 10 ft. Our hoop is exactly that.

My husband is 6'0 and my ceiling r 9 feet and it works well in our basement. No Amazon doesn't assemble. I recommend a professional to assemble

I have 7' ceilings on my front porch and I have mine hanging there. I chose to have the swivel bracket and the spring and can still sit with about 8" to the ground. I would prefer it a bit higher but wont give up the spring to do it. I love this thing and spend a lot of my summer in it. I take it camping and hang it in a tree nearby too. Next accessory for me will be the bracket that goes into my class II receiver.

Minimum height would need to be minimum 98 inches from floor to ceiling to swing top shelf up and over when collapsing or setting up this shelf WITH WHEELS. The shelf unit is 97.5 inches including the wheels and the top shelf end clip so an extra half inch would be needed to allow for variances. Most standard house ceilings are several inches lower than 98 inches so if your ceiling is too low then lay the unit flat on it's side on the floor, simply swing the top shelf around to lock it into place, and THEN stand the entire unit upright. Not as convenient, but it's a workaround solution.

I have 8 foot ceilings, and I'm 5'1".when I put the incline up to 40 the top of my head is even with the top of the closet door which would be about 7 feet. So I don't think it would work for you with a 7' ceiling. You would have to have at least and 8' ceiling.
